    ACPI critical Error After fresh install

    "IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot
    13, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical
    assistance."
    "Details ID: 6
    Source: ACPI
    We're sorry ........"




    I get 6 of these every time I boot up.

    This is a dual boot system with XP running flawlessly on a different
    drive.

    This is a newly built system with Abit KN9 SLI MoBo; AMD 64 X2 %200+
    CPU.



    Whats up with this? Anyone know .....?

    Your motherboard supports SATA drives, but you don't have any installed, or
    You have multiple PCI-E slots and your PCI-E card is not in the first slot.

    If it is not either of these, then you may have a problem. Otherwise, MS
    Knowledge Base states you can simply ignore these.

    Hello,
    Here is the pointer to the article:
    930062 Error message is logged in the System log every time that you start
    Windows Vista: "ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI
    slot <number>"
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;930062

    Check the conditions in the article as to whether you can ignore or not.

    Thanks,
    Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
